Gordon Head Duplex Homes for Sale & MLS® Listings

Gordon Head Real Estate

Gordon Head sits in the northeast corner of Saanich, on southern Vancouver Island just north of the University of Victoria. Buyers come here for the mix of established residential streets, proximity to UVic, and easy access to the waterfront along the Haro Strait. It's a quieter part of Greater Victoria that still keeps you within a short drive of Downtown.

The University of Victoria anchors the neighbourhood and draws students, faculty, and staff looking to live nearby. Mount Douglas Park covers a large stretch of forest and trails at the area's edge, with a summit road that opens onto views of the strait and the Olympic Mountains. Gordon Head Recreation Centre on Tyndall Avenue offers a pool and arena, and local shopping gathers around Shelbourne Street and the Feltham Road corridor. BC Transit routes run frequently along Shelbourne and Cedar Hill Cross Road, connecting residents to UVic and Downtown Victoria.

Housing here is mostly detached single-family homes built from the 1960s through the 1980s, set on generous lots along curving residential streets. Many of these homes include basement suites, which appeal to buyers near UVic looking for rental income. Newer infill and the occasional townhouse development have added variety, and condos cluster closer to Shelbourne Street and the university. Lot sizes and ocean glimpses vary considerably between the streets near Mount Douglas and those further inland.
